Abstract

This article outlines the development of a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) intended for use as a sensor for CH4 and CO2 gases. Following fabrication, the FBG was effectively treated with a layer of Graphene Material through a modified RF Sputtering process. This coating procedure involved introducing argon gas into the chamber and subjecting the FBG, securely held by two vacuum stages, to a temperature range of 27°C to 600°C by adjusting the power supplied to the cathode and anode, ranging from 0 to 125 Watts. Subsequently, the FBG was employed as a key sensing element within an experimental setup aimed at measuring gas concentrations within a confined space. The assessment involved analyzing the reflected signal of the FBG using an Optical Interrogator System, which demonstrated a shift in the Bragg wavelength of the reflected signal corresponding to varying gas concentrations. This study indicates promising outcomes for the Graphene-coated FBG as a gas sensor. The sensor’s sensitivity was evaluated based on the Bragg wavelength shift resulting from gas presence within the chamber. The Graphene-coated FBG exhibited sensitivities of 3.3 ppm for CH4 and 3.7 ppm for CO2, surpassing those reported in prior research efforts.

Abstract

In this work, ZnO photocatalyst has been synthesized using matoa (Pometia pinnata) leaf extract under various microwave irradiation powers at 360, 540, and 720 Watts for 3 minutes on each. The UV-Vis absorption spectra of ZnO exhibited a peak in the ultraviolet region 300-360 nm. UV-Vis absorption analysis revealed a decrease in the band gap energy from 3.15 eV to 3.10 eV as the irradiation power increased. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images displayed spherical and nanoplatelet morphology with a decrease in particle size observed from 773 to 709 nm with increasing irradiation power. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO with crystallite sizes in the range of ~18-20 nm. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles was successfully employed as a photocatalyst in 4-nitrophenol degradation, achieving the highest degradation percentage of 82.7% at 540 Watts with a corresponding reaction rate constant of 0.0126/min. In conclusion, the microwave-assisted synthesis of ZnO using on matoa leaf extract demonstrated significant potential for the degradation of organic pollutants, thereby contributing to water purification efforts.
